Sometimes the best Friday nights are spent at home away from busy bars and restaurants. Here are five fun activities to enjoy at home – each with a perfect snack to make the night even better:
Movie Marathon Madness
A movie marathon is a great way to chill after a long week. Pick your favorite movies or start a new series and keep your fingers crossed it’s one of those that you can’t stop watching. Create a cozy spot with blankets and dim the lights and maybe add some themed decorations.
Snack that Goes with It: Popcorn
Popcorn is a classic movie snack. You can add melted butter, sprinkle some salt or try different seasonings like cheese powder or chili flakes for extra flavor.
Bingo Night In
Bingo is a fun game to play at home. You need bingo cards, a number generator, and prizes. Print bingo cards online or make your own. Play with friends online or by yourself for some easy fun.
Alternatively, you can enjoy bingo at Paddy Power. They have tons of bingo games with awesome prizes and jackpots. It’s super easy to sign up and play, plus you get to join a fun and lively community of bingo lovers.
Snack that Goes with It: Pretzels
Pretzels are great for bingo night. Try them with mustard or cheese dip for an extra twist. You can also get different flavors like honey mustard, garlic, or cinnamon sugar.
Wine and Paint
Get creative with a wine and paint session. Sure, not everyone is a great painter, but no matter your skill level, it can be surprisingly fun. Grab some canvases and paints. Follow an online tutorial or paint whatever you like. It’s a relaxing and enjoyable way to spend the evening.
Snack that Goes with It: Cheese and Crackers
Cheese and crackers are easy to prepare and go well with painting. We suggest cheeses like cheddar, brie, and gouda. Add some fruit or nuts on the side for a little something extra.
Gourmet Cooking Challenge
Turn your kitchen into a gourmet restaurant. Try cooking a fancy meal. Pick a recipe using a meal planning app, get the ingredients, and start cooking. You can even make it a timed challenge or a competition with someone.
Snack that Goes with It: Fruit Salad
Fruit salad is a fresh and healthy snack. Mix fruits like berries, melons, and grapes. Consider the option to add a splash of orange juice or a dollop of yogurt for more flavor.
Virtual Game Night
Play games online with friends. Games like trivia, charades, or escape rooms are great choices. Set up a video call and have some laughs. Make sure everyone has their favorite drinks and snacks ready.
Snack that Goes with It: Chips and Salsa
We know, this one can be a bit messy. But chips and salsa are perfect for game night. Use tortilla chips and a spicy salsa. Guacamole or queso dip makes it even better.
All these activities and snacks can make your Friday nights at home fun and special. Just make sure you go all in on the fun and don’t take any shortcuts. Enjoy your night in!
